[LAU] TAP and other LADSPA plugins cause... dead silence?

I've noticed a phenomenon many months ago: certain LADSPA plugins, when I enable them, cause all audio to stop coming out of the effects chain.

This was a common problem with jack-rack. it got so annoying, I stopped using jack-rack. The same plugins that would cause jack-rack to go silent, worked fine in Ardour. So I started using Ardour (0.99) instead for effects.

Now, on a 64-bit dual-core Intel machine, I'm noticing the problem even in Ardour (2.0.2). And in ecasound too, and jack-rack. If for example I add the TAP Rotary Speaker plugin to any of Ardour2, jack-rack, or ecasound, all audio stops. If I remove the TAP Rotary Speaker, audio is fine.

Why is this?
